Court Freezes ₹5 Crore Assets of Delhi History-Sheeter; Wife Booked as Conduit for Illicit Funds

New Delhi, April 16, 2026 — In a massive blow to organized criminal networks operating in the national capital, the Delhi Police has officially frozen properties and assets worth over ₹5 crore belonging to a notorious history-sheeter and his wife.

The targeted action was carried out under strict organized crime provisions against the primary accused, Jitender, and his wife, Jyoti, who allegedly acted as a major conduit for laundering the illicit funds.

The Financial Trail and Seizures

The meticulous investigation was spearheaded by a dedicated team from the North-West district police, led by Inspector Jeetendra Tiwari and Sub-Inspector Ravi Saini, working under the supervision of DCP (North-West) Akanksha Yadav.

By tracing a complex financial trail of illicit funds, investigators successfully identified a massive cache of assets directly linked to the couple’s organized criminal activities. The frozen assets include:

• 10 Immovable Properties: Spanning multiple buildings and entire residential floors.

• Two High-Value SUVs: Purchased using suspected proceeds of crime.

According to police officials, Jitender has a long and active criminal record, with at least 15 registered cases against him, including severe violations under the Gambling Act. Due to his extensive criminal history, he had already been officially declared a “Bad Character” by the local police, and externment proceedings were initiated and executed against him earlier this year in January.

Investigators revealed that his wife, Jyoti, played a crucial role in the syndicate. She allegedly acted as a financial conduit, holding and projecting the illicit proceeds of her husband’s crimes under her name to make them appear as legitimate assets.

Court Order and Next Steps

Following the financial investigation, the Delhi Police moved a formal application for the seizure and freezing of the assets before the Rohini court.

The court initially passed an interim order, formally summoning the accused couple and directing them to justify the legitimate source of their immense wealth. When Jitender and Jyoti failed to provide any credible justification or legal source of income for the ₹5 crore empire, the court passed a definitive order to completely freeze the assets.

To ensure the properties cannot be liquidated or moved, the Rohini court has forwarded strict directives and copies of the order to the district revenue officer, the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), the Regional Transport Office (RTO), and the concerned bank managers. Under these directives, no sale, transfer, or withdrawal of the frozen assets will be permitted without prior, explicit approval from the court.
